H3013 – Haiku by Issa – In this world of ours…by Master Japanese Calligrapher Eri Takase

David G. Lanoue writes in his excellent website Haiku of Kobayashi Issa, “In it, Issa offers a striking juxtaposition: above, people enjoy a pleasant day of viewing spring blossoms–drinking sake, eating, joking, laughing; while deep below, poor souls suffer the torments of hell. The contrast suggests that, for Issa, the opposite of hell isn’t heaven; it’s being in this world on a day when the blossoms bloom.” [2]
